This includes plenty of mud and some steep hills with, thanks to the lovely clear day, some incredible views. The toughness of the race is borne out by one of the final ascents to Stinchcombe golf course which is only accessible by pulling yourself up on ropes.<\/p>\n<p>The club came away with a number of prizes. Helen Brown was 3<sup>rd<\/sup> lady in 1.38.49. Helen Lipscomb was 1<sup>st<\/sup> LV35 and Jacqui Wynds was 1<sup>st<\/sup> LV60.
